The AMC517 is an AMC FPGA Carrier for FMC per VITA 57. The AMC517 is compliant to the AMC.1, AMC.2 and/or AMC.4 specification. The unit has an on-board, re-configurable FPGA which interfaces directly to the AMC FCLKA, TCLKA-D, FMC DP0-7 and all FMC LA/HA/HB pairs. The FPGA has interfaces to two DDR3 memory channels (64-bit wide and 16-bit wide). This allows for large buffer sizes to be stored during processing as well as for queuing the data to the host. With a FMC site per VITA 57, each AMC517 in the system has a whole array of mezzanine options available in the marketplace.

The on-board quad-core PPC can runs at 1.2 GHz with 2GB of DDR3, 128MB of Boot Flash, and a 32GB SD Card. The PPC has dual 1000Base-X Ethernet interfaces to the FPGA in addition to its local bus. The PPC and FPGA route GbE to the port 0 and 1 via a mux selection.
